3.  Strategic Plan – Wait until Wade Hill can be on the call and we can send out materials ahead of time

• Need to stay on top of directors at NIH that are decision makers over funding, research development and researcher development
• Meet with NCI
• The Surgeon General’s office just released a report on disease prevention being a major focus
• Not much research on primary disease prevention
• Talk to NCI directors about developing a small trajectory in that directions and that nurse researchers are good at this (collaborative, participatory and CPR
• We need to form a plan and then a couple of the members go and see NCI
• Need to do more in supporting PhD students that want to do an EH focus but do not have someone at their university that has an EH focus
• Next call have a template/outline to work on strategic plan – send out to WG members to add where they think the WG should be going

ACTION: Katie to send past strategic plan to the Research WG before the next meeting

4.  Round Table 

• Society of Toxicology

o Looking for this type of group where people are working together, toxicology principles is taught and education and environment ideas that are integrated

o Looking for abstract presentations where people are showing how they are integrating toxicology and EH principles in their education, also education through outreach in the community

o Abstracts are due October 3, 2011 and the meeting is March 11 – 15, 2012 in San Francisco, CA

ACTION: Katie to send out email with information to WGs

• Retreat

o Was very success and would like to hold again in the next year if there is funding

o Broadening to include supporting doctoral students

o Items that came from the retreat

• Liz has a paper that was accepted

• Many are in the process of writing manuscripts

• One person is writing a small grant

o It was not necessarily about grant writing but about scholarship in general and one finished her DNP and one is about to finish her DNP – It provided them time to network with others and start to think beyond their current work
